Who We Are

Incorporated in the city of Lloydminster in 1997, and built on a foundation of experience, knowledge, integrity and service; Integra Engineering Ltd. is an energetic and innovative full – service design firm which specializes in providing complete engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) services to the oil and gas industry.

Utilizing the latest technology in engineering design, we pride ourselves on our technical expertise, quality service, and quick turnaround. Very few oil and gas related EPCM firms house their main offices in smaller centers, even in a city which has been termed as the “Heavy Oil Capital of Canada”, however, we have found one of our main strengths lies in having our engineering and design professionals close to the fields in which our designs come to life. Our staff is able to develop and maintain relationships with our client’s field personnel, thereby enabling Integra to provide expertise, support, and knowledge directly to the people who will actually be working in/at the facilities we design. Our frequent site visits often assist in our ability to ensure compliance to our design standards, ensuring that our company is able to meet our client’s needs in a more efficient and effective manner.

We also provide similar services to our clients who do not operate in the Lloydminster region. We have used SKYPE and satellite technology (as well as the occasional traditional site visit) to maintain close relationships with clients and their employees on projects located in both southern and northern Alberta and Saskatchewan, southern Manitoba, Argentina, Cuba, Columbia, Trinidad/Tobago, and in Yemen.

Our Team

Our key resource is our people. Today, Integra employs several multi-disciplined professionals. Through our unique synergy of people and services, we pursue excellence, both as individuals, and as a corporation.

Leadership team

Evan Stephens, B.Sc., P.Eng.

President/Principal Project Engineer

Evan graduated from the department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Saskatchewan in 1992.

Evan began his post-university employment with a local small oil and gas firm named Trinity Energy.
Evan was hired as a Production / Facility Engineer and was required to perform design and production
engineering functions, supervise the operations staff, and market oil and gas on behalf of the company.
He then moved on to work for a CS Resources, a larger oil company, and worked as a Facilities /
Production Engineer. He completed several projects while in this position; including, the design,
construction, and commissioning of 2 atmospheric sour heavy oil batteries.

Evan then successfully carried out his vision of what he believed the EPCM industry was lacking in and
started Integra, entitled at that time, Integra Energy Consulting Ltd. The company, now registered as
Integra Engineering Ltd. has grown substantially over the years, and has become a beacon of quality
design engineering and project management in the oil and gas industry. Evan’s passion to meet and
exceed each client’s needs is shown in every project Integra has taken on.

Along with work, Evan enjoys spending his spare time with his family relaxing and enjoying their cabin
on Lac des Isles, located in Saskatchewan’s Meadow Lake Provincial Park.

Les Unrau, B.Sc., P.Eng.

General Manager

Les graduated from the department of Mechanical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan in 1988.

After graduation, Les started his career with a small fabrication company in Tisdale, Saskatchewan which was then called Trail-Rite Flatdecks (it has since changed its name to Northern Steel).
Les’ duties included the design of grain bins, fertilizer towers and ULC storage tanks. He also looked after quality control for the company.

In 1992, lured by the big city lights, Les moved to Lloydminster and took on the role of Project Coordinator with Universal Industries (now Foremost Industries).
Les worked with the company for 22 years in many different roles. In 1996 he moved into the Engineering Department where he worked in process
design, specializing in heavy oil treating equipment and burners (Les did a lot of work with forced draft burners and registered a patent
for their use in heavy oil in 2006). In 2000 Les stepped into the role of Engineering Manager where he continued to concentrate on
process design, but also directed the vision of the engineering department and was also responsible for managing its staff.
In 2006 Universal promoted Les into the position of General Manager where he was responsible for all aspects of the business
including staff, technical, production, quality, safety and financial performance. In 2012 Universal’s parent company (Foremost)
reorganized and Les was put in charge of the Technical Services Division where he managed the Engineering, Drafting, Estimating,
Purchasing and Quality Control Departments (80 staff distributed throughout eight business units).

In 2014, having tired of frequent trips to Calgary and life within what had by now grown into a large corporation, Les decided to make a
change and started as a Staff Engineer here at Integra. Today Les is our General Manager and is very much enjoying the family atmosphere,
the can-do attitude and the practical capabilities of the people around him.

Les is a Saskatchewan Roughrider fan (even in the bad years) and enjoys woodworking and motorcycling in the off-season.
